I just wanted to touch the grass. Something about it was magical. The Golden Dome and the Grotto were all woven into my Catholic upbringing. None of us went to Notre Dame but the love went from my dad to the next three generations. Anyone that thinks it's just about football doesn't get it. You will find that all those great memories with your dad will give you strength. It sure would be nice to have your dad put in a good word to the Blessed Mother for a National Championship. We're long overdue.
